An image of the sun is formed by a lens of focal length $30 \ cm$ on the metal surface of a photoelectric cell and a photoelectric current $I$ is produced. The lens forming the image is then replaced by another of the same diameter but of focal length $15 \ cm$. The photoelectric current in this case is

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to twice and ten times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two respective cases is $x:y$. The value of $x$ is ...... .

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
$Assertion$ $A$ : Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light.
$Reason$ $R$ : Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

When a metal surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $8 \ V$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $3 \lambda$,the stopping potential is $2 \ V$. The threshold wavelength for this surface is:

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:
